petition  signed  by  sixteen  gentlemen  was  sent  to  the 
General  Society  of  Colonial  Wars,  in  New  York  City, 
for  the  purpose  of  organizing  a  Society  in  Illinois. 
On  Nov.  12,  1894,  this  petition  was  granted  by  the

his  place. 

Rev.  James  Gibson  Johnson  was  elected  Chaplain

The  Society  sent  a  delegate  to  the  unveiling  of  the 
monument  erected  by  the  General  Society  at  Louis- 
burg  on  June  17,  1895, 

On  June  6,  1895  the  Society  held  a  Banquet  at

The  Society  has  held  four  business  Courts,  one 
Special  and  two  General  Courts. 

The  Council  has  met  eight  times  and  elected  to

CONSTITUTION  AND   BY-LAWS 

OF  THE 

ILLINOIS  SOCIETY. 


PREAMBLE. 


Whereas,  It  is  desirable  that  there  should  be  ade- 
quate celebrations  commemorative  of  the  events  of 
Colonial  History  happening  from  the  settlement  of 
Jamestown,  Va.,  May  13,  1607,  to  the  battle  of  Lex- 
ington, April  19,  1775; 

ThereforeJThQ  Society  of  Colonial  Wars  has  been 
instituted  to  perpetuate  the  memory  of  those  events, 
and  of  the  men  who,  in  military,  naval,  and  civil 
positions  of  high  trust  and  responsibility,  by  their  acts 
of  counsel,  assisted  in  the  establishment,  defense,  and 
preservation  of  the  American  Colonies,  and  were  in 
truth  the  founders  of  this  nation.  With  this  end  in 
view  it  seeks  to  collect  and  preserve  manuscripts, 
rolls,  relics,  and  records;  to  provide  suitable  com- 
memorations or  memorials  relating  to  the  American 
colonial  period,  and  to  inspire  in  its  members  the 
fraternal  and  patriotic  spirit  of  their  forefathers,  and 
in  the  community,  respect  and  reverence  for  those 
whose  public  services  made  our  freedom  and  unity 
possible.

an  election,  the  Council  shall  have  power  to  appoint 
a  member  to  such  office  -pro  tempore,  who  shall  act

said  cause  shall  cease;  -provided,  however,  that  the 
office  of  Governor  or  Secretary  shall  not  be  filled  by

*GEORGE  FRANCIS  BISSELL. 

Third  in  descent   from  Capt.  Ozias  Bissell. 
IN  MEMORIAM. 

Whereas,  God  in  his  providence  has  removed 
from  our  midst  George  Francis  Bissell,  a  Charter 
Member  of  this  Society,  we  desire  to  express  our 
sincere  expressions  of  regret  at  our  great  loss  in  his 
death. 

Mr.  Bissell  was  born  June  22,  1827,  and  died 
June  25,  1895,  and  had  resided  in  this  city  many 
years,  where,  by  his  strict  integrity,  he  had  won 
for  himself  the  esteem  and  admiration  of  his  fellow 
citizens.  He  was  a  man  of  strong  religious  convic- 
tions, being  at  the  time  of  his  death  a  member  and 
officer  in  the  First  Presbyterian  Church.  He  was 
a  man  of  marked  business  ability  and  great  decision 
of  character. 

Mr.  Bissell  was  No.  8  in  the  roll  of  membership  in 
the  Society  of  Colonial  Wars  in  the  State  of  Illinois 
and  will  be  sadly  missed  in  all  our  future  Counsels. 

Resolved,  That  a  copy  of  these  resolutions  be 
spread  upon  the  minutes  of  this  Society  and  also  a 
suitable  page  be  placed  in  our  year  book  and  the 
same  be  placed  in  the  General  Societies'  year  book. 

Resolved,  That  a  copy  be  also  furnished  the 
bereaved  wife  and  family  of  our  lamented  friend.
